Nope, Honor will not be bringing any high-end phones into SA so it doesn't eat into Huawei's sales.

I see many people with Huawei phones, so I don't blame them. I'm on my third Huawei P(number) phone.

Reading through the threads, it seems that you can only get the phone online..... Does Huwaei support the phone locally, repairs, etc......

I would assume so...I've seen stands promoting Honor devices & a few ads here & there...

Looks like a really good value device.

Seems very much like it.

According to GSMArena the Honor is ~40 EUR cheaper.

As mentioned Honor SA getting all the "influencers" on board:

I like it! Looks like a proper value package. Pretty much flagship specs at upper midrange prices.

Honor 8X reaches 15 million sales

Twelve months ago Huawei announced its in-house midrange chipset Kirin 710 that eventually made it to Honor 8X when the handset was announced in September. The smartphone quickly gathered a lot of love with its huge display and battery and smashed multiple internal records.

Honor 8X was the best-selling smartphone online in China for four straight months, eventually reaching 10 million sales after 173 days. Today, a company executive spoke at a Kirin 810 meeting, revealing that Honor 8X sold out in over 15 million units, making it officially the most successful Honor smartphone ever.

The company vice president Xiong Junmin said the impressive number is for the global sales for the first 9 months since the device was launched worldwide. Later Honor 8X smashed not only internal records but also sales on JD.com during the 618 shopping festival.

Any feedback on the Honor 8s? It sells at Takealot for R1656. For around R1500 one can probably not do better spec wise? It has 2GB Ram and 32GB storage.
